Kathy Key, a case worker assistant for the adoption unit with the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, wipes off the glass Wednesday, before hanging it up for display at the Antonio E. Garcia Arts & Education Center. The photo will be hung with pictures of dozens of children looking for adoptive families at the eighth annual Heart Gallery. The gallery is a collaboration with the Department of Family and Protective Services and photography students at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi.
